AMD has just announced that it is dropping the price of its Radeon R9 295X2 GPU to just $999, down $500 from its original price of $1499, through a series of retailer-specific promotions.

Normally these kinds of deals are for distrbutors and OEMs, where the price savings aren't as big for consumers - well, not this time. The $999 deal on the Radeon R9 295X2 is open to all, but just limited to specific retailers. The Radeon Rewards package is still included, so the $999 price still includes over a dozen free games.

If you were waiting on a single card to drive your high-res monitors, or 4K display, the $999 price on the Radeon R9 295X2 shouldn't last too long.
